# Adding QR / Barcodes to PDFs

#### Adding QR Code & Barcode content to PDF Templates can be accomplished when using PDF Generator in concert with [Yansa's Barcode & QR Code Generator](https://store.servicenow.com/sn_appstore_store.do#!/store/application/eb2b91341bd68490118b8774cc4bcbbf).

When both apps are installed in your ServiceNow instance, a [**PDF Template Merge Map**](/pdf-generator/technical-docs/building-a-pdf-template/merge-maps.md) of type **QR/Barcode** will be available. This can be selected in order to embed any active [**Barcode Generator** ](https://docs.yansalabs.com/barcode-and-qr-code-generator/technical-docs/building-a-barcode-label/barcode-generator)into your PDF document.

Please reference documentation of [**Merge Maps**](/pdf-generator/technical-docs/building-a-pdf-template/merge-maps.md)**,** [**HTML to PDF Merge Templates**](/pdf-generator/technical-docs/building-a-pdf-template/html-to-pdf-merge-templates.md), and [**Label Templates**](/pdf-generator/technical-docs/building-a-pdf-template/creating-labels/label-templates.md) to learn how to add a QR/Barcode Merge Map to your PDF template.

On the next page, we'll show you a step-by-step example of creating a Label Template w/ barcode content. This example also illustrates methods to build non-label PDFs w/ barcode content.

When generating pages of labels (such as asset tags), we recommend using Yansa Labs' [Asset Tag Maker](https://docs.yansalabs.com/asset-tag-maker/) application, which is a purpose-built overlay to facilitate the process of batch tag generation.
